Last updated: April 2026 data

Salt cod (bacalao) and related dried or brined fillets of the Gadidae and allied families have been a transatlantic trade staple for centuries, and this heading remains commercially active for foodservice and ethnic retail channels. Three 10-digit lines govern classification: 0305320000 (general residual), 0305320010 (cod fillets specifically), and 0305320090 (other Bregmacerotidae-family fillets). China leads US imports under this heading, with Canada, Indonesia, Portugal, and Iceland also significant — Portugal's presence reflects its role as a processor of traditional salt cod for the North American Portuguese-heritage market. FDA prior notice and seafood HACCP compliance are required; importers should consult a licensed customs broker or the relevant agency for admissibility guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is salt cod classified when it arrives partially rehydrated or in a wet-salted rather than fully dried state?

The heading covers fillets that are dried, salted, or in brine — all three preservation states qualify. Wet-salted cod that has not been dried still classifies under 0305320010 provided it meets the fillet definition. However, if the product has been further processed (e.g., desalted and packed in water), it may shift to a different heading. The degree of processing and moisture content relative to the tariff definition should be reviewed carefully.

What accounts for Portugal appearing as a significant supplier of dried cod fillets to the US given that Portugal does not have major cod fisheries?

Portugal is a major processor and re-exporter of salt cod (bacalao), traditionally sourcing raw Atlantic cod from Iceland, Norway, and Canada, then salting and drying it for export. The country of origin for tariff purposes is the country of substantial transformation — typically Portugal in this case — not the country where the fish was caught. Importers should ensure commercial documentation accurately reflects the processing country to support correct origin declarations.
